How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center of the Village
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

We had a great first visit to Animal Medical Village. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. We can in with a foundling. Not sure what to expect at all. He was so well treated. They checked him out top to bottom and made us feel they really cared about his outcome. We are so happy to be part of the Animal Medical Village family. Loved our technician and Vet! Very professional. thank you

I'm thankful that you guys would have had an appointment availability at the same day (but I had to work late), but you were also able to get me in the next day. It's hard to find a good rabbit vet. I would always come back, or recommend you to others. Thank you 🥰 Joy and old Mr. Alter Mann Cooper 12 years old)

Absolutely fantastic experience. I had an emergency with my redfoot tortoise and they fit us in the very next day on a Saturday! Dr. Sayers (veterinarian) and Eric (technician) were complete professionals and super friendly to boot! It is REALLY hard to find a qualified exotic veterinary specialist and I've had some terrible experiences in the past. So grateful to have this resource for my precious exotic animal family.

My family has been going to the The Animal Medical Center of the Village since I was in grade school, before it moved, and I go now with my own pets. I have a bird and I trust them to consistently give the best quality of care and attention that is required for exotics. The facilities are modern, clean, and comfortable. Expect the visit to be 30 minutes to one hour for annual checkups and longer for X-rays and more specialized care. I don't see this as a problem since I want them to put in the necessary amount of time required to create a calm environment for my pets and not rush them through the appointment. With the expertise and experience of Doctor Jordan I can confidently recommend The Animal Medical Center of the Village to friends, family, and anyone who wants the very best care for their pets.
